FSA Omega Compact Bar Owners please chime in.

I am really interested in picking up these bars. This review from competitive cyclist really sold me. It is exactly what I have been looking for in a bar (from the video reviews description) and it looks great in the video too.

Here is the video review for anyone inetersted:

I have been considering these bars for awhile and did some searching for pics and when I find pictures of the bars on peoples bikes they look NOTHING like what is in the video! What is going on here? Is the video an accurate representation of the bars and the pics on peoples bikes skewed? Some pictures the bars look great others they look horrible. They look like totally different bars in every picture I see.

Here are some examples...

Looks Good (just like in the video), Nice fairly open curve:





Looks in between, but still pretty good:



Looks Bad:

WTF happened? Looks like it was squished!





I am also considering the 3T Ergosums as they are similar style bars but am not sure which one to go with. Looking for a compact bar with a flat transition to the hoods and easy reach to the brakes/shifter. Would one be better then another? Thanks
